I’m Not 18 and Christian

I Don’t Sell Wisteria Plants

I Don’t Wear Size Large

I’m Opposed to Abstinence

I have this old email address which I barely ever look at, until lately. Lately it seems that this old and just about defunct email address –I never use it --has become way popular and I can’t figure out why.

Noodling around on the computer I noticed that panties order I wrote about a few days ago.

So checking back to see if they ever got the point that they were sending emails to the wrong person, I noticed I had a new friend who wanted to join my friends’ list on My Space!

My Space??? What the hell?

So I click on the link on the email and sure enough there’s someone using my email. I try to get into the account but I need the password. So I click on lost password and immediately they send the password to my old email address.

I go back into My Space and now put in the password to see MY EMAIL on my space with my profile. Not!

Oy, I am not a Christian; I don’t live in Texas; I don’t have brown hair and I am not 18. (Although it was a very good year.)

So I close the account with aplomb. (If the person using my email address comes back she’ll find nothing, zero, zip, zilch and if she re-registers, I sure hope she can type in her own email address correctly.)

So, this morning, I check back into the old email account and lo and behold, I get a letter from someone complaining about the wisteria plants she ordered from me. Two out of three are dead and she wants her money back.

I ain’t selling wisteria, buying $18 panties, nor am I looking to meet young Christian men who believe in abstinence. (I am opposed to abstinence for many reasons but the biggest one being what would poor husband say about that?)

I guess I will have to either close this old email account or monitor it daily to see who else is --by mistake or design -- using my email.

That is funny...and disturbing all at once!

We had an identity theft incident once...it was not fun...

you could in theory have a lot of fun with that account...

I mean - i remember when Papa john's opened near my brother and their phone number was 1 digit off of his. He kept getting their calls. He called them to complain and they said "well we printed all of our stuff so you'll just have to change your number" the number he'd had for 8 years by this time. So he started taking pizza orders instead....:)

I think they changed their number soon after...

It might be fun to see what else ends up in that account...

Bradley..Identity theft is a terrible thing...it takes so long to extricate yourself from the mess. This is more amusing than anything else...still I don't want my email on My Space!

Ilanna...good for your brother I would have done the same thing. Boy that pisses me off when people show no concern for someone elses inconvenience when it's their fault.

I will keep looking into the old email for further crazy misdirected ones...that wisteria buying lady was pretty damn mad so I think I'll be hearing from her again!

The panties place won't quit...they sent another email saying the order was shipped.

Sounds like a small case of split personality to me...boy are you going to be mad at you when you find out! ;-)

Kimananda, I would almost believe I could do all these things if I'd been drinking wine...(I bought xmas presents on line with my wine glass by my side, and I had no idea what I bought and for whom...)

Heya Mary! I thought Id stop by!

I am confused with myspace. I have a page but have no idea what Im doing. I started with blogger, so I think I'll stick with that!

Marko...so glad you stopped by! I always associate my space with 8th graders...yes, I know adults do hang out there...but you have to swat the kids away to find one of them.

They say there are so many better ways to blog..but Blogger is where I started and I am loyal if nothing else.

I think you're just covering up. You have a MYSpace account with videos of you shaking your booty in size large panties, and you don't want us to know.

Well, I'm onto you. Although, I'm Christian and I believe that abstinence makes the hard grow ... so maybe we should be dating ...?

It's all so confusing. But the good news is, your panties are being shipped.

Nilbo...you have uncovered all my fetishes: I love to sell dead plants; wear oversized panties and yes, I am looking for a southern Christian teen who wears a male chastity belt.

Is there such a thing?

At least you got to the bottom of the problem and I LOVE that you deleted the my space account, hehe.

Sangroncito...I'm glad you are aware of what could happen because that makes you better prepared to prevent it...How much longer will you be traveling?

AMK - I got some kind of perverted high in deleting the account!
